The weaving process

The intricate designs and flawless work of these beautiful baskets are ensured by Ugandan women weavers who owe their skills to the women before them. A skill passed on from generation to generation has ensured this knowledge and craftmanship stands the test of time

Each piece is unique, culturally and traditionally inspired. Showcasing differing patterns and colors, these baskets are striking alone and together make a stunning wall display. They also make beautiful fruit bowls or bread baskets and can also be used in the bathroom to display soaps or toiletries.

Through the sales of these woven baskets you help to empower these women artisans and support their families.
